"Urea's Promis"

The Poet
crouched by the crashing rocks
and, seeing a few crustaceans
began to urinate

when this pleasing fire had ceased
the Poet hiked his member back to captivity

After all, this is not Dover Beach
and these stones aren't girls

The crustacean clicked her claws clayfully
under the sinking brine and the Poet,
wondered a while on his art
dissipating into the sea

the Poet, involved with himself, asked himself
himself replying with heavy eyelids and a light mind

swaying, the crustacean clicked her claws clayfully

vomitous green hair hung off the heads
of four naked figures lounged and carolling
upon rocks beyond the floating dead

A blood red tongue flicked passing ships
snacking on six sailors
fearing the whirlpool's sips and dips

sky's dark womb ached and clouds swelled with birth,
a downpour disintegrating the Poet's dreams
stirring the phabled Phoenician's schemes

tap tap tap.  reality on the forehead

Salty raindrops flowed into his throat
Bounced off his nude chin
and dissolved into the sand

Back up the beach the Poet went,
clicking his claws clayfully

I apologize for the vulgar content of this poem, but it's something that happens.

Vulgar? I thought....not.

Good one.

Vulger?  I think not.  Quite interesting, this is indeed, but great none the less!  Loved it!

The tapping of reality is what makes this so intriguing,  and the fact that I'm seeing pieces of myself wash up.  

Exceptional poem to be sure!
